The book series International Library of Ethics, Law and the New
Medicine comprises volumes with an
international and interdisciplinary focus. The aim of the Series is to publish
books on foundational issues in (bio) ethics, law, international health care
and medicine. The volumes that have already appeared in this series address
aspects of aging, mental health, AIDS, preventive medicine, bioethics and many
other current topics.
This Series was conceived against the background of
increasing globalization and interdependency of the world's cultures and
governments, with mutual influencing occurring throughout the world in all
fields, most surely in health care and its delivery. By means of this Series we
aim to contribute and cooperate to meet the challenge of our time: how to aim
human technology to good human ends, how to deal with changed values in the
areas of religion, society, culture and the self-definition of human persons,
and how to formulate a new way of thinking, a new ethic.
We welcome book proposals representing the broad interest of
the interdisciplinary and international focus of the series. We especially
welcome proposals that address aspects of 'new medicine', meaning advances in
research and clinical health care, with an emphasis on those interventions and
alterations that force us to re-examine foundational issues.
